A Critical Response to Claims of Artificial Intuition

Description

In our next meeting, we will discuss the article "The Irreplicable Nature of Human Intuition: A Critical Response to Claims of Artificial Intuition" (Kuzma, 2024).

This article examines the challenges of replicating human intuition in artificial intelligence. Drawing on phenomenology, cognitive science, and AI research, it questions the assumption that intuitive understanding can be reduced to computational processes. Instead, it highlights how intuition emerges through embodied skill, expert judgment, and creative practice. The author contends that current attempts to engineer “artificial intuition” misinterpret its fundamental nature and advocates for a new approach: rather than replicating human intuition, AI systems should be designed to complement it.

Kate Pashevich (previously a Postdoc at the University of Copenhagen) will open the session with a short introduction to the article, outlining its main arguments.

Participants are strongly encouraged to read the article in advance and to come prepared with questions, comments, and critical reflections, as the session is intended to be discussion-driven.
